Pain in your back or neck pain is common and many different conditions and injuries can cause it. Most pain is temporary, but it can reoccur. It’s often caused by a strained muscle or sprained ligament - perhaps from an activity you’re not used to such as yard work, moving furniture, or sitting for a long time. Less often, pain comes from damage to part of your spine or from a condition you were born with.

Back Pain

It is critical that you learn the best ways to manage your back pain. There are many things that you can do to self-manage your pain and improve your quality of life. Although some individuals may need injections or even surgery, many patients will find relief and improvement through careful and consistent implementation of a self-care program.

Back pain can also come with other symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and stiffness. Symptoms may not be limited to your back or neck - you might feel them in your limbs or other areas of your body.
